I can just hear you now – Not another N.Z. Sauvignon Blanc! Doesn’t she drink anything else? Well I do, as the 200 or so posts I have made suggest. But the Wine Witch must admit she is drawn to N.Z. Sauvignon Blanc like a moth to a flame. They are just sooo much fun! Again, I’m basically a peasant. Most times I like my wine to hit me over the head.
I always get excited when I come across a New Zeland Sauvignon Blanc I have not yet tried, especially one for under $10. Last week my hubby and I tried the 2008 Kono and really liked it. The nose is guava and honeysuckle. It is very pale with a bit of green around the edges. The flavor profile is white peaches with a bit of lime zest. It has a really bracing acidity with a long, clean finish. There is a lot going on for the money.
If you are a fan of Monkey Bay, try the 2008 Kono Sauvignon Blanc. The same exuberance for a few bucks less.
